The Cult’s Outriders: Lore and Background

The Atalan Jackals are the most audacious and reckless elements within the Genestealer Cults. Often drawn from the ranks of mining colony workers or industrial vehicle operators, they are experts at navigating treacherous terrain and operating heavy machinery. Once infected by the Xenos taint, their skills are turned to the Cult’s insidious purpose.

Mounted on rugged dirtcycles and accompanied by the formidable Atalan Wolfquad, these cultists act as scouts, raiders, and swift-response units. They are the eyes and ears of the Cult, performing vital reconnaissance, ambushing supply lines, and disrupting enemy formations with shocking speed. Their fanatical devotion to the Patriarch and the Star-Gods drives them to perform suicidal charges, eager to spill blood for the coming ascension.

Rapid Assault on the Battlefield

In games of Warhammer 40,000, the Atalan Jackals excel in a variety of tactical roles. Their exceptional movement speed allows them to quickly seize objectives, outflank enemy forces, and engage vulnerable targets. They are particularly effective at:

• Flanking Maneuvers: Using their speed to get into advantageous positions or threaten enemy backlines.
• Objective Control: Swiftly moving to secure or contest vital objectives across the battlefield.
• Harassment: Tying up enemy units or destroying key support elements with focused fire and brutal charges.

The Atalan Wolfquad provides crucial heavy weapon support, turning this unit into a versatile threat that can adapt to different battlefield situations. Their ability to deliver a swift, decisive blow makes them a cornerstone of many successful Genestealer Cults army lists.

Kit Contents and Customisation Options

This multipart plastic kit builds one squad of 5 Atalan Jackals – four on dirtcycles, accompanied by an Atalan Wolfquad. You’ll be able to customise your squads with a host of melee weapons, blasting charges, and ranged weapons, letting you kit the unit out for a range of battlefield roles. This allows for incredible strategic depth and personalization for your Genestealer Cults miniatures.

Likewise, the Wolfquad features options for a powerful mining laser, a scorching Atalan incinerator, or a rapid-firing heavy stubber, offering you even more flexibility to tailor your unit’s firepower. All arms in the kit are interchangeable with one another, and you’ll have a huge choice of heads and accessories to individualise your models, ensuring no two squads look exactly alike. This level of detail makes it a rewarding project for any miniature painter and collector.
